Chapter 253: Named Captain of the Horse (Important!) )
The crown prince Li Longji ascended the throne, how could Princess Taiping be willing?
Princess Taiping strongly demanded that officials above the third rank in the court and major criminal cases be handled by the Emperor Taishang, who knew his sister's carefulness, but also agreed. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Li Longji is the emperor, and the power in his hands is naturally much greater than before, even though a large part of the power is still in the hands of the emperor, but the politician, who is not thinking of a way to remove obstacles?
After a few months, things finally settled down.
Li Longji canonized the crown princess as the queen, Dong Zhi as Dong Guifei, Qian Zhiyu as Qian Defei, Zhao Niang as Zhao Life, and Liu Liangyuan as Liu Huafei.
One of the four concubines is missing, and the other concubine should belong to Yang Weixiao, who was born by the Yang family and gave birth to the prince. However, Li Longji only named her Yang Guifei.
Everyone didn't understand very much, and the queen mentioned it intentionally or unintentionally, which ushered in Li Longji's reprimand, so the people in the harem didn't dare to mention it again.
Soon after moving into the palace, Yang Weiwei sent her child to the queen's palace, and the queen had no heirs, and she didn't dare to enjoy the joy of being a mother alone, so the child was handed over to the queen to raise.
Li Longji knew, but he didn't say anything.
…………
Jing Ci had already returned to Yang's Mansion.
She was investigating Ayi's recent affairs, Ayi's background was suspicious, but she happened to be kidnapped by Aunt Pei, and later Aunt Pei didn't even want her life for him, Jing Ci faintly guessed...... Nine times out of ten, Ah Yi is Qingyun.
It's so unexpected.
Jing Ci has known Ah Yi for several years, and she never suspected that he was Qingyun, but she had worked hard to check for so long, but unfortunately she didn't find it at all.
Now that Qingyun is missing again, Jing Ci has sent someone to track it down non-stop, and it is estimated that Aunt Pei is also looking for Qingyun's whereabouts at this time.
It's night.
Cui Qi sneaked into the Yang Mansion and the courtyard.
They haven't been together for a long time.
"If I want to find Qingyun, I'll leave, let's go together, okay?"
The courtyard was starry, the air was filled with a faint fragrance of flowers, Cui Lu hugged his favorite woman from behind, and Jing Ci said softly in his arms.
"Although the crown prince has ascended the throne, everything has not yet settled down, Princess Taiping's power has not been reduced, and many people and affairs are still implicated, let's wait a little longer, right? I promise you, one year as fast as it is, three years as slow as it gets. Cui Lu's voice was also very soft, and this promise was solemn and sincere.
"But ......" But she really didn't have the slightest attachment to Chang'an.
She was more afraid of long nights and dreams, and she didn't know what would happen in the future.
He turned his head, lowered his heroic face, and kissed his tender red lips......
A kiss full of love, warm and lingering, goes straight to the deepest part of each other's hearts.
…………
After a long time, at the end of the kiss, both of them gasped slightly.
Cui Lu hugged her and said in a low voice: "In a few days, you and I will go to Princess Taiping's mansion." ”
"Huh?" Jing Ci was a little puzzled.
"Wu Youji is critically ill, I'm afraid there won't be much time, I think...... Go and see him for the last time, after all, father and son have a ...... The main thing is that you want him to meet you. Cui Lu's eyes were unconsciously stained with a layer of fog, and his feelings for that biological father had always been very confused. What exactly is love a little more? Or is it a little more hateful?
…………
Not a few days later.
A decree shocked many.
The emperor named Cui Lu as the captain of the horse, and gave him the princess Li Zhiying of Yuzhen, and the two got married after the year.
The holy decree was directly sent to Cui Lu's mansion, and Li Longji did not leave him the slightest room to refuse.
This holy decree can be described as a bolt from the blue for Cui Lu and Jing Ci.
For a time, Cui's house was full of people, and officials of all sizes in the DPRK and China gave gifts to express their congratulations.
Everyone in the court knows that Princess Yuzhen is the sister of the Holy Mother's compatriot, and she was suddenly given to Cui Lu, which shows that the Holy Lord will definitely reuse him in the future. Although it is inappropriate for the horse to participate in politics, but this is an extraordinary time, and the holy will is already very obvious.
Qu Riverside.
A tall and handsome man and a beautiful woman each led a horse and slowly stepped on the dry grass. It was late autumn, and there was no one on the riverside.
"It's come to this, can you bear with it? I promise, I will never marry her. Cui Lu's expression and tone were very sincere, and his deep eyes were full of the Yiren beside him.
Jing Ci's face was a little gloomy, and he didn't hide his bad mood at all, "I don't want to be patient, I don't want to be for a moment." The first thing the prince did after ascending the throne was to give marriage, and then stay in Chang'an, who knows what will be ushered in the next moment. ”
"Jing Ci, believe me......"
"Yo-isn't this a colt?" Cui Lu had just said the beginning of his words when a voice intervened stiffly.
The voice full of energy suddenly came, not far away, a middle-aged man with a big belly rode over, looked at Cui Lu with a smile, and when he came to him, he hurriedly dismounted, "The horse is fine—I didn't expect the horse master to be interested in coming to Qujiang at this time......"
Cui Lu's face suddenly darkened, eventful!
Obviously, the man didn't notice it, but glanced at Jing Ci with a meaningful expression, and said with a smile: "It is worthy of being a concubine, you are so charming and enviable, and you will take a beautiful little lady to Qujiang before marriage......"
Cui Lu frowned and interrupted him unhappily, "What nonsense." ”
"Ouch, everyone is a man, I know ......" The man squeezed his eyes at him, and then swore solemnly: "Although the horse master is relieved, my mouth is absolutely locked firmly, and I will not reveal half a word to anyone." After the man finished speaking, he stepped on the horse with a smile and slowly left.
Cui Lu, who has always controlled his emotions well, was upset and irritable at the moment, and hurriedly looked at Jing Ci with a pale face beside him, and just wanted to speak, Jing Ci had already spoken.
"Look, my identity has been reduced to the willow next to the pony." There was a hint of sarcasm in her faint tone.
Cui Lu only felt a heavy pain in his heart, and he was about to suffocate from the pain, he stretched out his arms, gently grabbed her shoulder, and attached it to her ear, his tone was soft and almost pleading, "Let's be sensible, okay?" Trust me, I can handle it, I swear I won't marry her. Don't forget, we have a bright future ahead of us, and everything I promised you will come true. ”
"Think about it from another perspective, if I receive the holy decree to enter the palace as a concubine, can you bear it?"
Hearing this, Cui Lu's hand stiffened.
The two of them were silent for a long time.
…………
In the past few years, Jing Ci is well aware of the changeability of personnel, so he does not want to stay in Chang'an for a long time, and he does not want to do half a moment. Previously, she gave in and promised him to wait in Chang'an for one to three years, but what she was waiting for was Li Longji's marriage, and now, she is sitting on pins and needles, and she can't wait to leave now.
Jing Ci understands that Li Longji is not a thing in the pool, once his power is strong enough, as long as he wants to stay, I am afraid that they will not be able to escape.
Jing Ci felt uncomfortable, Cui Lu was so happy, for several days, he had been struggling with pain in his heart, and he didn't reveal a word to her.
He has accumulated power for so many years, and finally chose and supported a capable monarch to ascend to the throne, the situation has been chaotic for so many years, and seeing that the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty is in front of him, he withdrew his hand at this time, which is tantamount to giving the chaotic forces an opportunity to take advantage of, years of hard work...... It will be in vain.
Since he promised her not to marry Princess Yuzhen, he would never marry him, his power is far greater than she imagined, and his right to choose marriage has always been in his hands.
And that will...... It was a trick that he and Li Longji decided to set up after discussion.
Helpless...... Jing Ci is not confident in him, and he can't trust Li Longji.
